China Source Chinavasion: Scam China Suppliers Now Offering ‘iPads’

April 29th, 2010

Shenzhen, Guangdong ( prfriend.com ) April 27, 2010 – China Supplier Chinavasion put out a warning today that China scam companies were using the buzz surrounding the Apple iPad to dupe unsuspecting eBay traders.

No one would deny that the buzz surrounding the Apple iPad is huge right now.

On the first day of its launch, the tablet computer sold between 600,000 and 700,000 units on the first day.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg is reported to have used it to keep up on state affairs when he was stuck in New York because of the air crisis caused by the eruption of the volcano in Iceland.

However, according to wholesale electronics source, Chinavasion scam manufacturers in China are now trying to benefit from the buzz by misrepresenting themselves as genuine iPad suppliers.

According to Rose Li, PR manager for the China wholesale manufacuturer Chinavasion, scam manufacturers had listed fake iPads on B2B sites like Alibaba for half of the recommended retail price of the actual iPad in a bid to dupe eBay resellers and online traders.

“At the last count there were as many as 14737 iPad listings on Alibaba alone,” according to Chinavasion’s Rose Li.

“That’s a lot of listings for a country where the actual iPad hasn’t even been released yet.”

While some China ‘iPad’ suppliers slipped up by offering ‘iPads’ with Intel processors, 10- inch screens, cameras or telephone functionality, Chinavasion’s Rose Li said that some smarter operators were very clever with their duplicity.

“Some listings look very much like the actual iPad listing on Apple with the only difference being that they are half the price as the real thing,” said Chinavasion’s Rose Li. “However, what the customer would get in the box is really anybody’s guess.”

According to Rose Li, actions like this tarnished China’s image as a whole and saddened genuine wholesale electronics suppliers like Chinavasion. “Scam companies like this hurt the whole industry.”

“The faster they are removed from the industry the faster China’s burgeoning electronics industry can move forward.”

According to China wholesale source, Chinavasion scam companies should be avoided at all costs. Please use respectable China wholesale companies like Chinavasion.com.

China Wholesale Veteran Chinavasion Offers Resellers Advice For Sourcing With Alibaba’s AliExpress

August 25th, 2009

Shenzhen, Guangdong ( P ) August, 27, 2009:

China Wholesale ground-breaker Chinavasion has released a five-point guide to avoiding being taken for a ride by suppliers listing on Alibaba.com’s new ecommerce portal AliExpress.

Last week Alibaba.com did a soft launch of its new AliExpress service.

According to Chinavasion’s PR Manager, Rose Li, AliExpress is aimed at smaller to medium sized sellers and adds a limited degree of security for people who source from Alibaba.

“The main Alibaba.com is essentially an advertising website: no deals are transacted. AliExpress is different. It’s ecommerce with international shipping, and that’s 100% new business territory for the Alibaba group.”

The AliExpress site explains that Alibaba will guarantee order fulfillment under an escrow arrangement. This will be the first international test of Alibaba’s proprietary AliPay online payments system, already widely recognized within Mainland China as a payment method for the Alibaba group’s eBay-style auction website Taobao, and a would-be competitor to eBay’s Paypal system.

Chinavasion’s Rose Li warned while the Alipay Escrow system might guarantee that resellers get something delivered they will still need to stay on their toes.

“Will buyers get what they want from AliExpress? Each supplier you find in AliExpress will have their own concepts of acceptable quality and speed. Since the goods are neither sold nor shipped by Alibaba themselves, the burden will still fall to the buyer to investigate and test each and every different supplier in the system before trusting them with orders.”

In an effort to prevent resellers from being fleeced by sellers on AliExpress Chinavasion has put together the top five things to check for to prevent being taken for a ride by AliExpress suppliers, which can be read at tinyurl.com/AliExpress-Review for free.

As the first company to offer an online wholesale and dropshipping service online Rose Li said Chinavasion wanted to remind resellers what to look for when sourcing from China.

“We would like to offer our site Chinavasion.com as a price comparison for people shopping online through AliExpress. We are confident we offer a more user-friendly experience without the need to worry about quality, speed, or trust of unknown Chinese suppliers.”
